== Debris in the Joystick == | |

* Use the [guide|113182|Joystick Replacement Guide|new_window=true] to get the joystick out of your controller. | |
* Have a look at a [link|https://imgur.com/gallery/58bBc43|teardown of the joystick itself] to get at its insides. | |
- | * Use some electronics contact cleaner or some isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab to remove the debris. You’ll want to clean both the circuit board bit, where the little cable comes off and the small metal contacts on the bottom of the joystick. |
- | ** If you don’t want to open up your Joy-Con, you can give the [guide|147338|no disassembly method|new_window=true] a go, but this sort of cleaning is best done directly. The no open approach is also more likely to disturb the lubricant on the inside of the joystick, which could lead to further problems. |

+ | If cleaning does not make a difference, the joystick itself may just be worn out. Due to the mostly mechanical nature of the joystick, wear is inevitable and given enough time, drift of this kind may occur regardless. |
* Replacing [product|IF378-015-3|the joystick|new_window=true] itself is the most effective tactic in this case. | |
* The process varies slightly for the [guide|113185|right Joy-Con|new_window=true] versus the [guide|113182|left Joy-Con|new_window=true], but is equally doable with the proper tools. | |
+ | * Consider replacing your joysticks with [product|IF378-066|ones driven by hall effect sensors|new_window=true] rather than the analog ones Nintendo uses. These sticks use magnetic fields to detect direction are are much more resilient to grime and dirt. A very worthy upgrade! |

+ | * Inspect the connector for the joystick to be sure it's free from damage or corrosion. |
+ | * Be sure the cable is seated properly and the latch for the connector is flipped down. |
+ | * No damage to the connector? A chip in each Joy-Con (or on the motherboard in the Switch Lite) is responsible for inputs and outputs. They will be responsible for managing the signals from the joysticks. |
